Join the dynamic group of individuals at the Green LEEDers monthly event Topic: Sustainable Water Treatment & Reuse for Designers & Developers Speaker: Morgan Brown Location: Integrated Design Lab Sustainable Water Treatment & Reuse for Designers & Developers Whole Water Systems principals are pioneers in sustainable onsite water treatment and have been designing biological treatment systems including constructed wetlands for more than twenty years. Sustainable development today is grappling with how to treat and reuse water in projects. LEED gives credits for water treatment and reuse; at the forefront of green design, the Living Building Challenge mandates it. Conventional treatment technology is centralized, expensive, energy intensive and difficult to translate onsite to buildings or developments. Whole Water will cover in this presentation proven onsite water treatment solutions that offer benefits of being attractive, inexpensive, little-to-no energy, flexible, robust and low maintenance – including pictures of residential and commercial constructed wetlands that are attractive amenities to the landscaping. (Also included will be a brief digression with pictures on European natural swimming pool technology which uses constructed wetlands instead of chlorine.) Come learn about alternatives to centralized water treatment systems – alternatives that are sustainable and distributed, making treated water available for reuse locally where it’s needed. www.wholewater.com

"Sticky Places": Using Place-Making to Attract Money and Talent 4:30pm - lecture 5:30pm - appetizers and no-host bar University of Idaho Boise, 322 E. Front Street, Legacy Pointe Boise, Idaho How do you use place-making to win economically, to become a place that people want to move to or back to, and will not move away from when a better job offer comes along? How do you create a "brand" for your place that will be so memorable it becomes a point of pride for local people? How do you prioritize investments to get the most out of your public dollars, so you become "the community of choice", the place that people want to move to?

Join us for our monthly lunch lecture. Topic: Construction Waste Recycling for LEED projects in the Treasure Valley Location: Idaho Power Conference Room Join us for an informative panel discussion on construction waste recycling for LEED projects in the Treasure Valley. The more we, the LEED design and construction community, know about what resources are available, the better chance we’ll have of being successful at maximizing construction waste recycling. We will be talking about what can be recycled and where as well as what kind of tracking and documentation services each agency can provide a contractor and a project in order to fulfill the requirements for the Construction Waste Management Credit (MR Credit 2). There will also be a discussion about what waste materials are not recyclable, why, and how we can work together toward changing it. The panel will consist of knowledgable individuals that deal with construction waste recycling at a professional level including: Selena O’Neal, Ada County Operations Rick Gillihan, Western Recycling Konrad McDannel, Allied Waste Seth Brown, Pacific Steel and Recycling Steve Sedlacek, Sanitary Services Company Gary Simon, Scott Hedrick Construction With Moderator: Angela Comish, PE, LEED AP Cost:USGBC Idaho Chapter Members- $5 Non Members-$10 (If you join that day you get lunch for free) RSVP to brook@lkvarchitects.com by Wednesday, April 14th if you would like a lunch.
